Time and Place: 3:40 to 4:00 P. M. Eastern War Time. New York City, N.Y.

TEXT

GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief for this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
EC: Yes, we have the body here, [3122].
As we find, there are disturbing conditions that bring, or that have builded, quite a bit of trouble to be eliminated. Having been gradually builded, however, it will require some little time; primarily because of the character of the lesion formed which we find apparent in the upper dorsal area, - or those disturbances from the 7th dorsal to the 3rd and 4th. With the corrections osteopathically that may be given, and the adding of certain principles or corrective forces to replenish a very much impoverished blood supply, we may again set up sufficient normal circulation as to rid the body of a great deal of those hindrances produced by indirect activity from these same natures of conditions produced in the body of this entity, [3122].
Hence, in the areas indicated, we find the impulse for the blood supply to carry to portions of the face such disturbances as find their attempt to eliminate forming quite a variety of skin affections.
Also we find an insufficiency in oxidization or purification of the blood stream, and an unbalancing of the chemical forces of the body; thus causing many of the disturbances that are the result rather than the source of the trouble.
There is the necessity for not only the divine but the material application of the physical things for the physical and mental body, as well as a very definite change in the attitude of the individual itself towards its means or sources or opportunities for being a real service or help through its associates, its connections, its relations, and the activities that are opportunities for this particular personage.
The form of anemia in the blood supply needs also that which will cause the system itself - from the impoverishment produced by the subluxation in the areas indicated - to supply better and greater blood, rich in body-building forces, that may aid the body in becoming nearer normal.
First, then, in making applications for the body, - we would choose an osteopath who is in sympathy with the information through this channel, or that may be demonstrated or proven through same. Through this means then we would correct those subluxations existing in this upper dorsal area as indicated.
At the same time we would begin adding to the chemical and assimilating forces of the body those elements in such measures as to aid materially in correcting those tendencies in the assimilating system. There is a deficiency in these elements, so that the activity of some of the glands is stirred to excess preparations without the ability to supply those forces to maintain the resistances through the body itself.
These as we find will be principally found in special quantities of such as calves' liver, which - if cooked at all - would be broiled, but saving the juices with same, so that there may be added strength and body-building.
Add excess quantities of fish and lamb in the diet, which - with the correction of the subluxations and the weakened blood supply - may add those forces purifying same.
Once each day, preferably late in the evening or just after the evening meal, take a teaspoonful of ACIGEST stirred in a glass of raw milk.
About twice each week - but have regular days to do this, and preferably at the noon meal - eat a whole wheat cracker spread thinly with CALCIOS (which is calcium in a form easily assimilated, and in which the body is deficient - as to the activity of same in assimilation, that is).
Take beef juices for strength and vitality, as well as the calves' liver.
Have plenty of green vegetables, preferably those of the yellow variety. Hence certain forms of turnips would be well (as the rutabaga, that is soon to be as a part of the general building up of the body), as well as carrots and all vegetables that are yellow in color.
Eliminate any quantities of sweets.
Often take raw vegetables, which now will be found to agree and to assimilate with this body, when heretofore such things may have brought only anxiety to the activity of the alimentary canal.
Have beets cooked and raw, carrots cooked and raw; all of the raw vegetables, including lettuce, celery, radish, and especially watercress.
And as these are added, and the corrections made osteopathically, we should find not only a clearing of the disturbance from the superficial circulation but the better ability to use the body's abilities to the glory of the Creative Forces.
Ready, then, for questions.
(Q) What can I do to stop the swelling at my ankles?
(A) The corrections osteopathically in those areas of the upper dorsals and in the 3rd cervical should aid in stimulating the circulation, at the same time, to the extremities. And as the adrenal glands are purified with the taking of the excess quantities of the acid and the calcium (in ACIGEST and CALCIOS), these effects should gradually be eliminated.
(Q) Will this relieve the occasional intense pain from the chronic internal condition?
(A) This should relieve the pain.
Keep the attitude of being physically ever of a helpful, constructive influence, applying same in thy relationships to others.
(Q) What is the disease which is affecting my face?
(A) This is an after effect of the form of anemia, and of the cutting off of the circulation to the face, arms and neck, arising from the impurities attempting to be eliminated through the perspiratory system, thus forming the irritations that are indicated on body.
We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

4/22/43 [3122]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce,
Your name has been given to me by Mrs. Morris Rome, a close friend of mine, who has benefited so much from your counsel.
I have hesitated to write to you before this, because I am financially unable to undertake a long or expensive treatment, but I have suffered so long from an obscure disease that I am most eager for your advice and will try to find some way to follow it.
Please let me know when it would be convenient for you to give me an appointment. If it is possible, a Saturday morning would be a good time for me as I am generally at home on that day. Are there any special instructions for this period?
It would comfort me greatly, if, as a result of a health reading you could answer the following:
Is my trouble incurable? If not how long should it take to be cured. Can I overcome the other minor ailments which prevent me from enjoying perfect health? Can you give me specific instructions for curing these smaller discomforts as well as the specific disease.
I have attended the clinics of most of the large New York hospitals, and in this way have been able to consult some of the most famous doctors, who seem unable to solve my problem. I am sure you can imagine how deeply grateful I shall be for any advice or suggestion you may be able to give me.
Thank you for the courtesy of an early reply
Sincerely, [3122]
N.Y. City Apt ...
5/12/43 [3122]'s letter to EC:
Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce;
I am so happy to have been accepted as a member of your association, and to know that you are planning to give me a physical reading. You must forgive me if I again write to you for more immediate help with my unusual problem.
I am suffering from a little known and complex disease which becomes especially active during the warm weather, and is seriously affected by summer sunlight. For the past few years I have had many different kinds of treatments which have arrested the rapid progress of the disease, but did not cure it. Now with the summer coming on the disease is again active and the doctors have outlined a new and drastic treatment, which includes the use of strong drugs that may incapacitate me for some time.
The doctors have warned me that if I do not agree to start this treatment within the next three weeks, they will not treat my case and will not be responsible for anything that may happen.
I have so much confidence in your guidance that I would much prefer to wait for your suggestions following a physical reading, but I am terribly afraid that my condition by July 30th, (the date you have given me) that the disease will be much worse and twice as hard to cure, and since it happens to affect my face, which becomes swollen and disfigured, you can imagine how disturbed I am.
I beg of you to do whatever possible to advance the date of my reading, so that I may follow your advice and with the Lord's blessing achieve a cure.
Most gratefully yours, [3122]
New York City, N.Y.
7/21/43 [3122]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce;
In accordance with your kind suggestion in your letter of May 20th, I am listing several questions, which I am most eager to have answered as the result of my reading which you have scheduled for August 1st 3.30 to 4.30 E.W.T. During this period I will be resting at my home, 302 West 79th Street, N.Y.
1. What is the disease which is affecting my face? Is there any permanent cure? How long will it take? 2. What can I do to overcome my blood condition which has been diagnosed as chronic anemia? How long will it take? 3. What can I do to stop the swelling at my ankles? How long will it take? 4. Can I do anything to cure the chronic internal condition, which causes me occasional intense pain? How long will it take? Thank you for your courtesy, I shall be most grateful for any suggestions you can give me as the result of this reading.
Mr. and Mrs. Rome have asked me to send you their kindest regards.
Sincerely [3122]
New York City, N.Y.

REPORTS

10/04/43 Dr. Coulter's letter to EC:
Dr. Geo. N. Coulter Osteopathic Physician 18 East 41st Street New York
LExington 2-4142
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I trust this finds you well and standing the strain you must be put to in your work. From all reports I hear, you must be working very hard.
Enclosed you will find reports on cases up to date that have come to me for treatment as a result of their readings.
The work is very interesting and I appreciate deeply the opportunity afforded me in treating them.
If there is any further information that you might want on any of the cases, please let me know.
My best wishes to you and your son and I am looking forward to seeing you when you visit New York.
Sincerely, [signed] Geo. N. Coulter GNC/LSW
[Enclosure]
Mrs. [3122]
Findings in the reading coincided with my physical findings. Blood pressure 112 systolic and 64 diastolic which verifies "poor circulation". Disturbances found at 6th to 3rd dorsal centres.
This patient has improved but treatment is not constant as she has difficulty keeping appointments.
Treatment started Aug. 6, 1943.
[GD's note: Other reports were on Cases [3002], [3145], [3127], [3155], [2999], [3149], [2771] and [2890].]
10/18/43 EC's letter to Dr. Geo. N. Coulter:
Dear Dr. Coulter:
I want to thank you very much for yours of the fourth enclosing the reports from you and Dr. Zwicker. I appreciate this very much. I hope to see you when I am there Nov. 9, when I speak at the Psychology Forum in Steinway Hall.
Thanking you again and with every good wish, I am,
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce
1/25/69 She requested a copy of her reading, saying:
"This health rdg. referred me to Dr. Harold J. Reilly for treatment. As you know, he is now retired and no longer living in N.Y.
"I presently have a bad case of arthritis of the upper spine, affecting the discs at the neck and shoulder area. This has caused much pain in the arms, legs and abdominal area, by pressing on the nerves.
"I also have a constant ringing in the ears, which may also be due to arthritis.
"Perhaps the original rdg. Cayce did for me would indicate some treatment. Is there any physiotherapist in the N.Y. area who has the equipment and knowledge to give me any special treatments required?
"The arthritis diagnosis was made by x-ray. None of the usual drugs taken have been effective."
2/27/69 We sent a copy of her rdg., referring her to Dr. H. J. Reilly's brother, Patrick J. Reilly (D.C., Ph.T.), 120 East 34th St., New York, N.Y. 10016.
